LED lights

This is an awesome post!

I would like to add something that the "average joe" doesn't know.
If you need a great diffuser and you have (or can get you hands on) an old lcd computer monitor/ lcd tv set that is dead/ cracked screen, etc., dissasemble it carefully, and on the very bottom of the stack of the lcd array, there is a piece of custom made diffuser for the backlights, which are a couple of very small florescent bulbs taped to the sides. be careful removing these, they break easily and contain a microscopic trace of lead!! Ha Ha... so does your solder!! LOL
